Bernd Büsing, Corporate Packaging Lead Nestlé Deutschland AG: „Designing packaging sustainably, reducing the use of virgin plastic and closing material cycles is at the heart of our sustainability strategy. The use of recycled plastics in our packaging is an important measure for implementing this strategy. Of course, this also applies to transport packaging such as stretch hoods, which are essential for protecting our products during transportation. If we succeed in using recyclates from the Yellow Bag in this application as well without compromising product protection, we will have achieved an important step and we are delighted that our partners are joining us on this journey.“
Dr. Sven Bernhard, COO DUO PLAST: „Stretch hoods are an important and demanding application in the transport packaging of pallets. At DUO PLAST, we have already integrated post-consumer recyclates into our products, but not yet from household collection. Thanks to the cooperation with our project partners, we have now achieved great progress. This brings us an important step closer to the circular economy for plastics and strengthens our innovation leadership in this area.“
